My GTI!

Not unlike my black beast. Good choice.

I bought a satnav unit off dj.kolia on Ebay for £379. Much cheaper than a stealer would want for it. Easy fit, just be careful where you place the GPS antenna. I recommend the ebay guy, he was really helpful and easy to deal with.

Try Meguiars carnuba wax, makes my car have a lovely deep shine. Also keeps the old mk4 looking sweet even for her 65k miles.

Hey JamesT...Nice choice of colour  Dont worry im having the same problem with my car, its such a b!tch to keep clean...but when it is clean, it makes you feel proud!

P21S canubau wax is good. at £19.99 its a bargain. Use the P21S bodywork cleanser polish and then apply the wax! Makes my black golf gti look the dogs toilet parts!

Athol,

JamesT - looks good in black.  However, where are your floor mats?  The GTI standard spec included carpet mats front and rear!


The windsreen issue - as bonded windscreens are considered (and designed that way too) part of the overall structure of the bodyshell, they are subjected to - and must also resist - certain torsional and bending forces.  As laminated screens consist of two thin outer layers of glass, and a "sandwich" filling of a special flexible plastic type polymer (this is the bit that holds the glass together after an impact causing glass fracture).  Any repeated bending of this polymer will render it opaque - in a similar way that the old fashioned dymo tape went white if you bent it!
